AFTCO Unibutt size for International 30
Posted by: Dan Sawyer (---)

Hi folks, I had a quick question about the appropriate AFTCO unibutt size for an original series Penn International 30 (600yds/30lb. test). According to the info, a size 1 unibutt is for 4-30 lb. class rods and a size 2 is for 30-50 lb. class rods. Does anyone have an idea or experience as to which size is a better fit for the International 30? I'm worried about going too small with the size 1 and overkill on the size 2. Any info is much appreciated!

Built many a 30lb. trolling rod both with roller guides and regular guides for Penn 30 Internationals. Always used a Aftco #2 unibutt , the #30 Internationals fit perfectly.
